When Else Wenz-Vietor submitted eight decoration ideas for a Nymphenburg children’s service in the 1930s, she was already one of Germany’s best-known and most prolific children’s book illustrators. In line with contemporary trends, she frequently drew animals and plants with human features. Her imaginative drawings were always carefully preserved in the Manufactory’s archives. Today they appear on various 16-centimetre-high fruit bowls or pastry dishes.
